@the_lost-journal   Yay, more questions!

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

Probably around 60 people total. I just counted 58, but I probably missed a few people. I’d guess on a given Sunday we usually have 45-50 or so.

What is one thing you disagree/don’t understand with a different denomination?

I’m probably going to start an arg…[Read more]

Oh I’m not leaving!

I think I might be able to rephrase what the others are saying. To us, it’s strange to pray to Mary because it is never mentioned in the Bible. It always says we should pray to God, it never says to pray to anyone else.

Acts 9:36-41: Peter prays to Tabitha, a disciple who had died. Hm, why would he pray to a…

I’ve made some memes at your expense….

Please tell me I can post them XD XD

@the_lost-journal

I fully believe there isn’t a single human being on this earth who worships Mary.

Eeek I hate it when people say that, because it’s like denying that anyone goes too far with the Marian doctrines. I think that there is a fine line that some people have indeed crossed. However, I do uphold the fact that never in the Catholic cat…[Read more]

Maybe a little over a hundred? I think? Our old church was smaller though, closer to about 50 or 60 members.

I think I could go on and on about this since there are little nuances in different d…[Read more]

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

My parish has about 100 people, give or take ten, coming to each mass. More on the last Sunday of each month, because they’ll come visiting since we’ve got the kids singing and lunch after and stuff.

@rae @the_lost-journal

where in the Bible does it talk about praying to Mary or any other saint? And by Bible I mean the original 66 books, not the extra ones in the Catholic faith, since putting my personal faith aside, those books are controversial.

This is what I mean about “believing the Bible and ONLY the Bible”. Like, where in the Bible does…[Read more]

Oh, I should answer this question.

@the_lost-journal

A little. Still leaves some room for questions.

What I am understanding is, you believe that Jesus told us to continue baptism and such, but matrimony is more of just a bonding with one another under God, rather than holding any sacramental value?

I’m going to quickly define two words…[Read more]

Ummm it depends on the Sunday lol

We have a pretty big youth group that meets on Wednesdays (like 40-50) but only about ten of them come to church on Sundays.

Total services at my church would probably me about 40 people on average? I’m not sure lol…we have a lot of empty chairs…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

What do you mean by that?

If I answered, I’d become the enemy of a lot of people.

First off, we do not worship Mary, and I do not believe there is any denomination that does for that matter! And building a statue or praying to her is not a form of worship at all! People build statues for many great people through out history, are…

The amount of “vertically challenged” jokes at school in seventh and eighth grade still haunts my soul…

At least I’m taller than my mom

She’s five foot

@the_lost-journal

Wow, that is a lot! Do you go to a mega church? I assume that because you talk about lasers and fog and such.

I don’t consider it a megachurch. That might depend on your definition, but most megachurches have more than 2000 members, and we’re not that big. We do have lights and such, but there are other smaller churches who use…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I would love to answer these questions, but I don’t think I have the time right now, sorry.

@the_lost-journal

Oh dear, I don’t want to depress anyone.

It was rough, and it was subtly done…….. yeah. I won’t go into it, but I went through a lot of abuse from them, but so subtly that it looked like I was the problem (I even believed I was) It wasn’t until things started to come to light and people started finding out what was really…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Oh my! I am so so so so sorry to hear that! I am glad he is gone now! But would you really consider those two were your friends?

I thought they were.

They were the only friends I had.

@the_lost-journal

How big is your church? (if you go to church.)

Hmm, there are about 100 kids and young adults, and maybe….. 40? parents. I would guesstimate around 150.

What is one thing you disagree/don’t understand with a different denomination?

I don’t agree with prayers to anyone buy God/Jesus directly.

What is your opinion on M…

@the_lost-journal

I don’t fully know the reason why many denominations get rid of the sacraments. I don’t mean to offend anyone, I just don’t really understand what your belief is on them. Could another denomination friend answer my question on that?

Yup! *Dusts off my thinking cap* I can answer this!

So it isn’t that we get rid of already exist…[Read more]

Roughly 1700-1800

What is one thing you disagree/don’t understand with a different denomination?

Ummm… probably the biggest thing is what some of us were discussing above, regarding whether or not spiritual gifts are still active in the church today (I believe they are).

@the_lost-journal hmmmm….I’ve never really been able to pick favorites……

I am pro-life!

This is one of those subjects that I consider to be a “hill I will die on”
